Non-Magnetic Bearings
Overview
Nonmagnetic bearings offer higher rigidity and greater resistance to corrosion than conventional stainless steel or beryllium-copper alloys.
Product List
With ceramic outer/inner rings and balls, nonmagnetic all-ceramic bearings have self-lubricating fluororesin cages to achieve excellent resistance to corrosion at both normal atmospheric pressure and in vacuum.
Features
- Fully nonmagnetic
- Excellent resistance to corrosion and wear
Applications
- Semiconductor inspection equipment
- Laser inspection equipment
FAQs
Loads are defined by their direction. Loads perpendicular to the shaft are called radial loads and loads parallel to the shaft are called axial (thrust) loads.
While DGBBs can handle axial loads in both directions, single-row angular contact ball bearings can only receive axial load in one direction.
Seals and shields offer additional protection for bearing components and help to improve and maintain lubrication. In terms of sealing performance, sealed bearings rank best, followed by shielded bearings, then finally open bearings. NMT uses supplementary designations D, DU, DW, and V (DD, DDU, DDW, VV) for sealed bearings and Z (ZZ) for shielded bearings. No supplementary designations are listed for open bearings.
